Accepting public comment on performance of gender reassignment surgeries

Jun 21, 2017

We received many comments from the public on gender reassignment surgeries being performed at Pullman Regional Hospital. These are helpful and will be considered as part of the decision-making process. The number of comments received has led us to believe a public meeting is not necessary. We are continuing the public comment period through July 3rd, receiving comments by mail and email; however, we are cancelling the special Board meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 29.
